Living in the Limelight…

Thoughts for the day…

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  Let’s turn and burn.
2. I have to clean a closet and a guest room and my wife is dragging me to Mt. Fuji for someone’s birthday tonight.  And I have to work.  One sentence per hook.  I don’t have the time today.
3. First of all, Pens and Flyers fans shouldn’t be dating.  Second, God Bless America (I guess).  http://deadspin.com/couple-making-out-during-national-anthem-must-really-r-1792763439
4. Tell me you wouldn’t click on a link with “gronk” and “69” in the title.  http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/gronk-tries-to-get-69-out-of-monster-girl-fails-1792763557
5. Why does every iteration of Hunger Games suck me in so much?
6. I don’t think my wife knows how excited I would be to have walkie talkie’s on our Europe cruise.
7. Down to 215 in weight.  I am already writing my Men’s Fitness Success Story for when I am absolutely RIPPED.
8. First week doing a two a day and six day workout week, and will do three two a days this week and six days again…will be a machine.
9. I didn’t know UCLA could play DEFENSE…nice win at Zona last night.
10. Luckily, I hit a St. Mary’s-Gonzaga parlay which made me up for the night.
11. I am seeing today if every time I bet on or against Wisconsin I lose.
12. challenge.oscar.com where you can put your money where your mouth is BEFORE…
13. She went with La La Land, I said I was going Fences, but I firmly believe the director and picture are tied together, and since Fences wasn’t in the director category, I switched to Moonlight because I am a nice guy and let my wife have La La Land.
14. I am hoping for Crash II…biggest upset in Oscars history.
15. …which I called and made some cash at the bar at OTT that year mind you…
16. I love Crash, and it suddenly made me write on my Google Doc my favorite movies of all time, and I will push that out this week.
17. Crash is the movie you should make every racist person you know in your life watch…amazing.
18. Suffocate by Sixx AM has been leading the charge, Take Me by Korn made a comeback, but THIS song is now my new favorite workout song…for the next 2 weeks until I find another one…just wish they made the song LONGER.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B4nnNeaj50
19.  By the way, loss or not, Arizona will still be a factor in the tourney.  LOVE Markkanen and Grier.
20. Does Clemson still get in the tourney conversation because they lost close at home?
21. #therefinery is hands down the best bar in downtown Denver.
22. Your cheese plate is too small for restaurant, #vestagrill
23. And how is your vision in life to be a “dipping” grill, change your mind and change your name, and then make me THINK of asking for dipping sauces?
24. I thought Dos Santos was a dive bar with burritos and found out today it is an uppity Mexican joint that I probably will never go to again…ever.
25. If you put a gun to my head and asked me my present Final Four, I would say Cincy, Arizona, KU, and UK…but I have lots of backups right now too.
26. I will be honest with you, and will say that the new ESPN 6pm “Six” Sportscenter is not revolutionary and kind of sucks overall.
27. I feel like I haven’t heard enough Baker Mayfield dance-drunk jokes.
28. So, there is a bourbon study that pays $150 for my insight…umm…ok…and I am your guy.
29. Tell me you are not getting excited watching college bball games with CBS now starting the official tourney song?
30. Miami proved their worth defending home court against Duke, Grayson sat because of his ankle, and I officially am now on record with not believing in Duke for anything past the Elite Eight.
31. And Grayson is settling for WAY too many three pointers to NOT sit…
32. I won’t get over-excited, but I should because Bryce Harper hit a home run on the FIRST pitch of his FIRST AB.
33. Clowns.
34. Seriously…who is going to take down the UCONN women’s team…103.
35. Seriously, you missed OUT if you didn’t catch the 1903 show at Buell this weekend…too late unless you fly somewhere.
36. …and you SHOULD fly somewhere to catch it.
37. I don’t like ISU for the tourney, and I sure as hell don’t like Baylor either…although it was a fun game to watch.
38. Dammit.
39. DAMMIT…I like the new Katy Perry song.
40. I actually thought that Jackie Stiles record would stick around for another 10 years or so…impressive.
41. I am putting aside all of Monday night to decide if I should go to Big Sean Tuesday one freaking block from my house.
42. What IF Eminem shows up and does the greatest rap song ever in 15 years “No Favors?”
43. Seriously, the rap in that song by Eminem is just SICK…here.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II16gsbTojY
44. I think out of state Mardi Gras parties are for losers who haven’t been to N.O. or Mardi Gras.
45. And if you are on the above list, then cancel all future plans and just go there…geez.
46. Inside scoop…Sports Column is buying Swanky’s in the next week and will do something with that place that we don’t expect.
47. I read another LeBron vs. MJ article last night and will stand firm on the fact that IF the King wins ONE more, I will have the discussion, but not until then.
48. How does everyone else in the world type fast on their phone and I am so slow?
49. The Voice starts Monday (hell, yeah, Blake)?
50. I think I have picked the last three winners by week 5.
51. How does a bar even think about existing without ONE TV somewhere in a corner?
52. I am sold that D-Will is a GREAT fit for the Cavs as a backup PG…dammit.
53. A “hip hop hug” I have coined as a hug that someone does to just be polite…C&C.
54. My #1 is hosting March 11th…be aware.
55. I don’t even care if the news is old, because I love Weekend Update so much and think that Colin and I are equally as big of assholes.
56. The Hangover wakeup scene is still a scene I can’t turn off the TV if it is close to that timeline.
57. “Tiger in the bathroom…”
58. I am tired of that idiot saying Sprint is “less than 1%.”
59. With SNL’s Christmas repeat, I will admit that Shawn Mendez is a good looking dude.
60. Boeheim, we love you.  http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/this-man-lives-with-his-finger-in-his-nose-1792764624

62. Hypothetically, IF I am #twocatmark which I am, than THIS is the funniest freaking thing like ever… https://www.facebook.com/Acapellavideoss/videos/642872802580639/
63. I am I Love You Man in real life and am having SO many problems inviting ONE guy friend to WP in a couple weeks.  I have no friends.
64. Rush.
65. I think next weekend I will make breakfast for Lindsey and I just so we don’t have to go to brunch and ruin our days.
66. Lindsey keeps asking me what I want to do in Europe and I keep saying “It is like asking someone wants to do if they went to the MOON.”
67. Hamburger Mary’s is such an energetic place.
68. Gonzaga losing at home last night solidifies that they aren’t a true contender.
